PROMOTION
Feb 18, 2018
In this 10th installment of the [Music Journey—How to Use Spotify] series, we'll introduce a new feature called "Spotify Connect." "Spotify Connect" allows you to use the Spotify app as a remote control to play music directly from other devices, such as compatible audio equipment, car stereos, TVs, game consoles, and the popular smart speakers.


Four Features of "Spotify Connect"

1. High Sound Quality
Spotify Connect is a feature that allows you to stream music directly from other devices using a Wi-Fi network. Unlike Bluetooth connections, it offers higher sound quality.

2. Save your smartphone's battery
As mentioned above, your smartphone is just a remote control. Since music is streamed directly from your device, it conserves your smartphone's battery.

3. Take calls while listening
Since music isn't played on your smartphone, calls won't interrupt your music.

4. Switch devices without interrupting the music
Switching from speakers to headphones is easy with just one tap. The switch is instant, so your music won't be interrupted.

Compatible Devices

Spotify Connect is built into over 300 products from over 100 hardware brands. As mentioned above, it can be used on a wide variety of devices, including speakers, TVs, game consoles, and car stereos. (Note: Spotify Premium may be required for some devices.)
